Community Sequencing Programs

Community Sequencing Programs are initiatives that involve local communities in the process of DNA sequencing to study their genetic diversity, health, or environmental factors. These programs aim to engage residents in scientific research, often to identify unique genetic traits or health risks within the community. By involving community members, these programs promote understanding, empowerment, and tailored healthcare strategies, while also advancing scientific knowledge about specific populations or ecosystems. Overall, they bridge scientific research and local participation to improve health, conservation, or understanding of genetic differences.
